After the 1992 Olympics Lo joined then amateur Sampo Giants in anticipation to join CPBL the next year. However his hope temporarily vanished when CPBL rejected Sampo Giants's application late in 1992. Lo later sought to join Uni-President Lions before the 1994 CPBL season, and stayed with the team to date, originally as player (1994~2002) and later as fielding coach (since 2003 to date). He was also briefly promoted as the team's acting manager in mid-2007 for two months.

Trivia
  • He won the 1996 CPBL Rookie of the Year award at the age of 31, therefore was jokingly referred to as old man of the year (Chinese: 老人王) by commentators and players.
gollark: I don't think half of America actually has said as much.
gollark: I mean, sure, but to continue making somewhat unrelated meta-level claims, almost regardless of how much that's actually happening there'll still be a few people complaining about it.
gollark: The important thing is probably... quantitative data about the amounts and change of each?
gollark: Regardless of what's actually happening with news, you can probably dredge up a decent amount of examples of people complaining about being too censored *and* the other way round.
gollark: With the butterfly-weather-control example that's derived from, you can't actually track every butterfly and simulate the air movements resulting from this (yet, with current technology and algorithms), but you can just assume some amount of random noise (from that and other sources) which make predictions about the weather unreliable over large time intervals.
